This is a journal of my vegetable gardens. Skippy was my first dog and he thought the garden was his, even though I did all the work. Now Suzie and Charley follow in his footsteps. We're located near Boston (USDA zone 6A). I have a community plot, a backyard vegetable garden, fruit trees, berry bushes, chickens, and bees. I use sustainable organic methods and do my best to grow all of my family's vegetables myself.

the early bird gets the hay

This robin is very happy I mulched my garden with hay this year. She (he?) is helping herself to big beakfuls and carrying them off. I'm trying to figure out where the nest is, but haven't yet. I have a lot of hay, so am very glad to share with the birds.
